RF-M/NEMS Switch Integrated Planar Inverted F-Antenna (PIFA)

We propose a novel multifunctional reconfigurable antenna (MRA) design using micro/nanoelectromechanical system (M/NEMS) switches. This single MRA operates over five frequency bands of GSM900, GPS1575, GSM1800, PCS1900 and UMTS2100. The reconfigurability in operating frequency is achieved by the activation of M/NEMS switches which are integrated with the antenna architecture. Summary of Researc...

Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) Design Dissection for Cellular Communication Application

An in-depth approach towards the design of PIFA has been taken. After discussing the essential parameters involved in the design procedure and introduction of a design algorithm, a miniaturized dual-band PIFA is introduced. Different specifications of the proposed antenna are measured both through computer simulation and fabricated PIFA. Also, the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is introduced an...
